The mag dailies are driving me NUTS at the moment !!!

Ive been doing them for several years ( back when there were only 6 and tick boxes only) and had one or two good wins so I have enjoyed doing them but just lately...

they load slowly
they freeze
the videos sometimes dont start or are jumpy
the videos go on for ages

Ive tried all ways of entering - individually, in batches, opening all in different tabs but its taking me SO long to do them. I seem to be continually reloading and refreshing to get through.

Im wondering if its just that Im entering at a time when most people are doing them and the site is overloaded - I usually start the day with them so between 7-9am.
Those of you who also do the mags regularily - is there a better time ?
Please dont tell me I have to get up in the middle of the night:D

    I enter the mags first thing in the morning too and some days they all run smoothly and on other days I hit problems! Like today a few of the videos kept freezing so I was not amused! :(

    I keep asking myself - are they worth it? - but I suppose my answer to myself is 'got to be in it to win it' so I plod on......even if some days I feel the ground feels like quick sand!
    :TA big thanks to all who post and sprinkling lucky dust to all who enter :smileyhea

    I don't have any problems with the mag dailies.
    You could try a different browser, or try turning off the add blocker.
  • I have an iPad which is from work but I can use it as mine.I do understand this is not possible for everyone.When you enter the mag dailies on iPad it does not play the videos so makes the process a lot
    Quicker ;)
  • I hate the videos too, would much rather have the tick boxes. The videos slow my computer down a lot :(

    It also depends on your computer- if it's an old one it does take longer to load stuff.
